Observation Preparation

OT Library: A link to the general OT libraries page. This page describes how to use the libraries in OT and how to load the NICI specific library. This library contains example observations that should form the basis of your phase II submission

The easiest way to develop a Phase II program is to use the predefined observations in the OT Library.The OT Library contains examples and templates of all typical Geminiobservations and should be the basis of your phase II (the example bestmatching your desired observation can be copied and pasted into yourprogram in the OT, and then modified to your requirements). The bestpractice is to use (or at least review) the library version for thecurrent observing semester. This way, updates or changes to observationprotocols will automatically be accounted for in new Phase II programs.Notes and descriptions appear directly in the library sequences to helpobservers understand how to best use the instruments.
